The focus of her PhD research is early clinical neurology in the late 19th century in the US within the racial context of post-slavery. She aims to understand the entanglements between the emergence of a field concerned with studying bodyminds and the racial shifts and continuations that worked to preserve a privileged and overrepresented category of 鈥渉uman,鈥 as well as implications for contemporary ethical discourses. Guita received her MA from Women and Gender Studies Institute, University of Toronto and holds a PhD in (neuro)physics from the University of Florida.
